[rhn-users] Increasing number of allocated file handles

[Dominique Demore]

Hi Everyone,

On our Oracle Application server, we have noticed that we are running out of file handles. Once the number of used file
handles reaches 0, the application crashes/reset itself.
I have increased the number of file handles from 65536 to 104854, but I am still seeing the problem. Should the number
of allocated file handles be increase also, if so, where is the file to modify it.

(*note: the second column will hit 0 everyday at ~9:00 when everyone is logging into the system.)
------
[root at server fs]# cat /proc/sys/fs/file-nr 
39937   7405    104854
[root at server fs]#

Any thoughts/suggestions,

Thanks.
